Swirled Cheesecake Nibbles
"I got this recipe off a Nestle baking site. I made two batches for bake sales and one for a party and they ALL disappeared. Perfect little individual cheesecakes and very easy to make.Could probably try peanut butter chips or cinnamon chips, or...let your imagination run wild!!"

I wanted to love these, but I didn't think the chocolate chips added anything to the flavor and they were too short. The cheesecake flavor was overwhelmed by the wafer and the chocolate. If I made them again I'd leave out the chips and maybe put in some sort of fruit preserves. I'd also make fewer of them & make them larger. -
Oh, I really was hoping to love these as much as the others but truthfully I wasn't fond of the swirled chips or the texture of the cheesecake. I did use raspberry/chocolate chips for half of them & those tasted better. Of course it didn't help when SO insisted on leaving the second batch in the oven a little longer so the chips would melt (which they didn't). Those ended up with a slightly burnt taste. HOWEVER, there are several plusses to this recipe which I'll try again. No doubt Nestle has some terrific recipes & this one could easily be adjusted to personal taste by switching chips or experimenting with the cheesecake a bit. Having your own personal cheesecake complete with crust is just plain fun & indulgent. And speaking of fun, this is a terrific recipe to get kids in the kitchen to help out. They could put the cookies in the baking cups, sprinkle the chocolate chips, etc. I'm not giving up on this one- with a few adjustments to suit my palate I'm sure this could easily jump to a five star treat! -
I loved these little morsels of heaven. I only got 31 out of my batter and we don't have swirled morsels here in my part of Canada. Instead I used white and dark chocolate chips and they were just as good but maybe not so pretty. I love this recipe because I think you could do many different variations of it. I would like to try a cherry filling for the top next or even drizzle caramel sauce over top of the choc. chips to fancy it up a bit. Everyone loved them. Thanks for submitting. -
These are absolutely scrumptious! I made 24 instead of 36, more like a brownie cheesecake. Yum! Thanks for posting.

FYI...I used to be Earnhardt#3 on Zaar, so I'm not a newbie!!
This picture is of me and hubby in Hollywood in August of 2006. If you really look, you can see the sign waaaayyy back there behind us! Don't I look like a star in my shades?? ;)
I live in a town of about 1500 and work at an insurance office here in town. I am married with a 13 year old daughter, a 32 year old stepson and, as of Dec 11, 04, a daughter in law. They now have a one year old daughter, Natalie. She's a sweetie!
I love NASCAR!! Root for Tony Stewart. Ya I know, alot of people don't like him, but love the bad boy attitude!! We go to a couple of races a year; love it!! I confess...I'm a redneck!!!
I like to read, cross-stitch and I love to cook when the weather turns cool. I love music, mainly country and classic rock. I love to sing, too, but nobody else would enjoy it, so I keep that to myself!! I love to go out with girlfriends, have a few drinks and dance the night away. I like to ride my bike and walk when the weather is warm. I love the outdoors and would rather work in the yard anytime than in the house. My daughter plays on a traveling softball team in the summer, so that keeps us busy about every weekend. Actually, they practice most of the year, so we're never too far from a softball field!! She also plays softball at school, so we go from one team to the next! I love it and will miss it when she's too old to play! She pitches and plays 1st base. Her new coach is going to try her at third this year, so that will be something new for her.
I LOVE any kind of animal, especially dogs, and am very concerned about animal welfare, especially Greyhound rescue. The retired racers go through so much and are so appreciative when they finally get to go home with someone!
If I had the time & the cash, I would run away to a tropical island. There's nothing better than swaying palm trees, balmy breezes and turquoise water. I love to wake up in the morning and hear the waves crashing. A cold margarita isn't a bad addition, either!
I LOVE dogs; I have really grown to love Greyhounds; what personality!! We adopted Missileman on May 15, 2006; a great birthday gift for me!! He is a retired racer, but now seems happy just to be a dog! We also have a 5 year old yellow cat, Drew. A real troublemaker! We also have a 5 year old Black Lab named Angus. He is actually my stepson's dog, but it seems we're his permanent family! We also have an adopted fur baby, Tanner. He actually belongs to the neighbor, but he loves us and visits everytime he escapes!!
There are three things I want to do before I die (well, more than 3, I'm sure, but...) I want to visit Hawaii and Australia and I want to swim with dolphins.
My pet peeves are two faced, backstabbing people. And, people who only want to be a friend when you can do something for them. Those people may as well stay away from me; life's too short to deal with 'em!!
I've "met" alot of interesting people here at Zaar and can't wait to see what's going on every morning when I log in!!
I've been in a few swaps over the last year and had a great time!! I appreciate everybody who organizes them; it's alot of work!!
